WrestleMania 41: Seth Rollins Pulls Off Another ‘Heist of the Century’
Ten years after stealing the WWE title at WrestleMania 31, Seth Rollins stole Paul Heyman from CM Punk and Roman Reigns.
Rollins won the three-way main event of WrestleMania 41 Night 1. Heyman, the longtime “Wiseman” of Reigns, was in Punk’s corner after repaying a favor from Survivor Series.
Late in the match, Heyman gave a chair to Punk but then gave him a low blow. But he also turned against Reigns to hand the victory to Rollins.
